Price: 350gn

Habitat: Sweetwine Woods

Lifespan and Development: A typical Temple Monkey reaches maturity at two years of age, and lives for between 14 - 18 years.

Diet: Entirely herbivorous, focusing mainly on leaves and fruit.

Temperament: Normally passive and quick to flee, but become violent if another of their species is harmed or captured.

Abilities: It was once believed that Temple Monkeys were beloved by Ziell, for this strange kind of monkey has always seemed to sense the coming of danger far before it arrived and was able to flee, as if they knew the future before it arrived. Because this made them hard to capture, and because the first settlers on Scalvoris believed them to be sacred, these creatures required a lot of effort to study, and so most researchers deemed it a waste of effort to try and figure out their secret. Since the founding of the Scalvoris University however many of the new researchers on the island have turned their attention to these creatures, and from the few subjects they've been able to study have begun to develop a rather startling theory: that these monkeys have a natural, instinctive ability to use the magic of attunement. This explains both the monkey's ability to avoid danger and why they are often seen moving around with their eyes closed, as if in prayer, which is how they got their names.
